This nostalgic A&W Drive-In located in a college town is an independent franchise under the A&W brand. This business has been a staple in the community for many years. In fact, the original building was built in 1954. The Current owners built a loyal customer base by providing personalized service and caring about each customer. After serving the community for many years, the owners plan to retire, and they've developed a self-directed staff to position the store well as a turnkey opportunity under new ownership.

Currently, A&W operated by Great American Brands, and there are over 1,000 independent franchises worldwide, with 600 in the United States of America. The brand turned 100 in 2019!

This franchise is well managed, profitable, and indeed a turnkey opportunity located in a high traffic area of town with 11,000 vehicles passing by daily! 

This business has proven to be pandemic proof, and sales have grown as a result of the pandemic!
